Odysseus escaped from the Cyclops Polyphemus by cleverly devising a plan. He introduced himself as "Nobody," which confused the Cyclops when he was blinded by Odysseus and called for help, stating that "Nobody" was hurting him. After blinding Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, Odysseus and his men escaped by clinging to the undersides of the Cyclops's sheep as they left the cave to graze. This cunning strategy allowed them to evade capture and sail away safely.
